International Development

Put that the Prime Minister had been speaking about development quite a lot this week and was there any new thinking in what the Foreign Secretary would be saying in his speech that evening, the PMS said he thought it would be best if people spoke to the Foreign Office regarding the Foreign Secretary’s speech. The issue in relation to food prices was not only an issue about development; it was an issue that had relevance for the UK as we were seeing. The Prime Minister was focussed on what more we could do globally on dealing with the issues of rising food prices and that was why he had been pushing for the matter to be on the agenda for the G8 meeting in July.
